摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a power supply control method and a monitor system capable of executing the power supply control method. The monitor system includes a base station, an image capture apparatus, and a processor. The base station includes a charging apparatus including a power supply connector and a power source coupled to the power supply connector and outputting power through the power supply connector. The image capture apparatus shoots the power supply connector to obtain a shot image. The processor determines a foreign object distribution on the power supply connector according to the shot image and sends a warning message according to the foreign object distribution. The foreign object distribution relates to foreign objects formed on the power supply connector. Accordingly, whether a charging mechanism fails can be automatically determined and notification and/or compensation may be performed when the charging mechanism fails.

摘要: A self-charging modular portable survival drone that recharges by natural elements is disclosed. The self-charging modular portable survival drone is capable of conventionally charging other devices, performing remote flight operations, and signaling for help. The natural elements include wind and water. The self-charging modular portable survival drone is configured to rapidly and repeatedly charge mobile battery units stored in ducted fan assemblies. The ducted fan assemblies can be used to charge personal electronic devices and power remote flight operations via modular drone. The self-charging modular portable survival drone can be used to signal for help using onboard high-output LEDs during SOS flight operations. The self-charging modular portable survival drone can further be used, during SOS flight operations, to broadcast current GPS coordinates over local search and rescue bands.

摘要: The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle having multifunctional leg assembly and charging system, including unmanned aerial vehicle and charging station. The UAV includes obstacle avoidance sensors, flight control module, first signal processing module, electric undercarriage and power charge/storage module. The charging station includes power charge/supply module. The obstacle avoidance sensors sense obstacles near the UAV to generate obstacle sensing signals. The first signal processing module interprets and processes the obstacle sensing signals to determine whether there is an obstacle near the UAV, and when the judgment result is yes, an avoidance instruction is transmitted to the flight control module, so that the flight control module drives the UAV to avoid the obstacle. The electric undercarriage includes first leg frame, second leg frame and electric driving mechanism. The electric driving mechanism drives the first leg frame and the second leg frame to fold and unfold alternately. The power charge/storage module includes first positive electrode and first negative electrode. The charging station includes power charge/supply module. The power charge/supply module includes second positive electrode and second negative electrode. When the UAV parks on a platform of the charging station, and the first positive electrode and the first negative electrode are in contact with the second positive electrode and the second negative electrode, then the power charge/supply module charges electricity to the power charge/storage module.
